Sholing 2-0 Poole Town
A fantastic performance got the win it deserved after two goals in two first half minutes. Dan Mason deftly headed home and straight after, Brad Targett cut in from the left and curled a low shot into the far corner from 18 yards. Boatmen created several more opportunities in an entertaining first half. Poole had more possession in the second half, but were kept at arms length by a well drilled hard working Sholing defence, meaning that Gos had little to do. Dan Mason went close to scoring again and Charlie Davis hit the bar as the Boatmen picked up the 3 points - Match Report
Chesham United 2-1 Sholing
Boatmen were very unlucky to come away with no points from 3rd place Chesham after an excellent performance. Team responded well after Saturday's defeat and were to create the most chances and play the better football, but were undone by a defensive mistake and a dubious penalty. We got back into the game after a brilliant goal by Dan Mason and fought hard for an equaliser, that sadly didn't come - Match Report
Sholing 0-4 Tiverton Town
A very bad day at the office as the Boatmen never got going and were easily beaten by Tiverton. The visitors always looked the more hungry and better organised of the two teams and took the lead early on after dominating the first half, when a cross was sidefooted home inside the post. Then in the second half, two world class goals in the space of 3 minutes. A mazy run and emphatic finish and then a 50 yard drilled chip over Gosney. The 4th goal summed it up for Sholing, a totally free header at the back post - Match Report
Swindon Supermarine 0-0 Sholing
Boatmen came away with a point on the road, extending our unbeaten league run to 7 games. Sholing had the bulk of the possession, but the home side created the better chances, with Ryan Gosney making 3 excellent saves, including one deep in added time. For us, Keane Anderson went closest with a shot just wide and Jake Adams had a stoppage time chance saved, but a draw was a fair result - Match Report
AFC Stoneham 2-5 Sholing
Brad Targett scored a second half hat-trick as the Boatmen advanced in the Soton Senior Cup. After going behind early on, Charlie Davis scored another sensational freekick, his 3rd for the club. Brad Targett had a header go over the line, but it wasn't given, although he got his rewards after the break. Brad cut in from the right to drill through the keeper. Stoneham equalised, but a minute later, Karlos Gregory's pin point cross was knocked in by Brad. His hat-trick goal was a thunderbolt across the keeper and into the far corner. Keane Anderson was felled late on for a penalty that he coolly converted - Match Report
